LCSW, 15 years of experience
Hi. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and received my Masters from USC. I've provided therapy since 2010. I've spend 14 years working with adolescents but i also having experience working with veterans and people with addiction. I've worked with people that have PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, anger issues, drug and alcohol addictions; I've also facilitated various groups in schools and in psychiatric facilities
In our first session, we'll spend time getting to know one another. I'll explain how i operate and answer any question you may have; this will be a time to see if you and I will be a good fit
I've never felt that I'm the expert in my client's life and I'm here to "cure" them. I see myself as a guide in your journey to reach your goals. I tend to build rapport quickly and I also don't try to take myself very seriously
I love working with teens (high school age) to young adults; in particular, I work with clients who have anger issues, depressive symptoms and substance use;

My first therapy session ever and he made me feel super comfortable even though I was extremely nervous. Great talks, I enjoyed that he was able to use him self as an example and share some of his stories that related.
Most of my training has been utilizing CBT due to the correlation between feelings, thoughts and actions; however, research shows that above all disciplines, the therapeutic alliance has a more significant impact
I believe the client has the strength and resilience to achieve the goals they set; the client has the solution to overcome
